I will refer you to the 2014-2015 Sabres, They had 15 ROW (regulation & OT wins) that year.

This roster is worse, All Kids and shot vets... I'm telling you it is going to be a LONG year.

It's not me debating sbroads, it is me debating Jeremy White and Chad D, basically. They feed him the thoughts, he retains the material and spits them out here.

Their defense in front of those goalies is going to be a problem too.

Does a team hit double figures in goals in a game this year? Good chance they do.

I see what your getting at:

Gonna miss risto.

My understanding is the disc replacement will last 10-15 years and then he will need fusion.

After a fusion the next steps usually mean fusion on the disc above and below the fusion but the time table for that is a case by case basis.

Truth be told any type of replacement, fusion, spinal surgery is always a case by case basis.

- Stripes77
Yes, his surgery will require another replacement, good chance while he is still playing.

So would a fusion. and usually with fusions, range of motion is altered.

Ive never seen anything like this.

Interesting, last blog you were firm.

2022 unprotected is worse than laferierre
2023 unprotected is worse than fox

Interesting

- Boss34



Players who want to be here.

Fox only wants to play in NYC

Laf - horrible season for a number 1 OA, might break thru, could be the next Yakapov. That value is the same or even less than future 1sts.


From the Sabres organization approach and timeline - unprotected 1's are more valuable in this scenario.

Most people after any back/neck surgery require additional surgeries later in life.

And the time table for that is all over the place. Some can wait decades. Others only a few years.

It's a huge unknown

Those players playing big minutes for the whole year for the first time is going to be something to see. Not to mention D is not just defensemen it is a 5 man unit and with your top players gone, Jack and Sam, it's going to be troublesome.

That’s probably what Eichel’s head looks like now with his injury

- Stripes77

Indeed, therefore do you think that most Sabres fans are overestimating Eichel’s value?

The return most fans appear to want is what Eichel is worth if he was 100% healthy, and didn’t demand a trade.

Because of the injury and trade demand, his value is not as high.

only two teams in modern nhl history have 10 or less wins:

74-75 caps (8)
94-95 sens (9)
92-93 sens (10)

- Michael Pachla
I dont think we will have less than 10, but maybe 17-23, counting OTW and Shootout wins.

Shelf eichel for this season or trade for futures :

Lose #1 defenseman
Lose #1 center
Lose #1 rw
Lose top 4 in McCabe
Lose both goalies.


Add hagg

Still better than 2014 though.

Easily bounce back after next season with the picks
